making sure that the edges clear
the end cap slots. Use tape or
rubber band to hold the vinyl on

cap (marked RH) about 6.4 mm
(1/4 inch) to disengage the clutch.

clutch should now engage and stop
the shade from losing its spring
tension.

into the end cap slots.
7. Insert the shade into the side
mounting brackets (the opening
for the right mounting bracket is
narrower than the left). Check to
